Highlight the role of the textbook, as "teaching tool" in the process of teaching and learning, and this feature has been used in the classroom turns out the relevance of this in such a process. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the importance of the textbook of Geography in schools, and make an assessment of how this feature has been used. To do this we chose to cut out the geography teachers from two public schools in the city of Boa Vista - PB. We aim to diagnose whether the textbook (LD) in these schools is used as the only source of knowledge or as a helper application. To identify these objectives, we use the literature and questionnaires with geography teachers of schools Francisca Leite Vitorino and Teodósio Oliveira Ledo, both located in the city of Boa Vista - PB. Based on the data obtained from the questionnaires, we saw that the four teachers of the two schools, answered unanimously that the collegiate own school teachers who performed the choice of LD, jointly with colleagues of discipline. This is extremely positive, as it shows an accuracy the guidelines presented by PNLD to the selection process. Unfortunately, we had no further details on what points were taken into account in the process of choosing the Teaching of Geography Book. On the importance of the textbook, was asked if the textbook is an expendable resource or essential, all were unanimous in the position that considers the textbook a fundamental and indispensable tool in the teaching and learning process. Thus showing the importance of analyzing this educational material. Already regarding the use of the textbook of Geography in the classroom, we saw different situations, with some methodologies that we seemed appropriate, given the variety of proposed activities and their quality. But some have called our attention for its traditional character and extremely mnemonic that does little to influence the learning process of students.
